OPINION
This cause is before the Court on the Motion For Default Judgment
Directed to Defendants Rick Rosentreter, LLC; Doug Rosentreter, LLC;

Brent Rosentreter, LLC; Gerald Rosentreter, LLC; RRDR, LLC; RRBR,
LLC; GRDR, LLC; and GRBR, LLC (d/e 69) filed by Plaintiffs Channel
Bio, LLC and Monsanto Company, by and through their attorneys of
record. The Court, having reviewed the Motion for Default Judgment,
the accompanying exhibits and the Court's file, finds that a default
judgment in favor of Plaintiffs Channel Bio, LLC and
Monsanto Company and against Defendants Rick Rosentreter, LLC;
Doug Rosentreter, LLC; Brent Rosentreter, LLC; Gerald Rosentreter,
LLC; RRDR, LLC; RRBR, LLC; GRDR, LLC; and GRBR, LLC is
warranted and IT IS HEREBY GRANTED.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED
that upon the Court's further finding that there is no just reason for
delay, final judgment in the amount of $642,469.27 (representing alleged
damages, interest, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) plus interest in
the amount of $4,394.61 from January 31, 2012 to March 22, 2012,
under Count I shall be entered in favor of Plaintiff Channel Bio, LLC
against Defendants Rick Rosentreter, LLC; Doug Rosentreter, LLC; Brent
Rosentreter, LLC; Gerald Rosentreter, LLC; RRDR, LLC; RRBR, LLC;

GRDR, LLC; and GRBR, LLC.
Additionally, upon the Court's finding that there is no just reason
for delay, a final judgment in the amount of $196,141 under Count III of
the First Amended Complaint is hereby entered in favor of Plaintiff
Monsanto Company against Defendants Rick Rosentreter, LLC; Doug
Rosentreter, LLC; Brent Rosentreter, LLC; Gerald Rosentreter, LLC;
RRDR, LLC; RRBR, LLC; GRDR, LLC; and GRBR, LLC.
Plaintiff’s request to dismiss without prejudice Count II, which was
pleaded in the alternative to Count I, against Defendants Rick
Rosentreter, LLC; Doug Rosentreter, LLC; Brent Rosentreter, LLC;
Gerald Rosentreter, LLC; RRDR, LLC; RRBR, LLC; GRDR, LLC; and
GRBR, LLC. is GRANTED and the Court finds no just reason for delay.
The case remains pending against Defendants Rich Killiam, LLC;
Jay Killiam, LLC; Matt Weyen, LLC; RKJK, LLC; RKDK, LLC; and
JKDK, LLC. Plaintiffs have advised the Court that Illinois Family Farms
has filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection, which automatically
stayed the action against Illinois Family Farms. See Exhibit 4 to d/e 59.
